Retro Computing with .NET
summary
A practical toolkit for console apps: a command-line parser (mono options) that handles short/long flags, subcommands and generated help; a line editor with history, reverse-search and tab/dot-triggered completion; a full TUI framework (Terminal.Gui) with layout pulses, dialogs, mouse and resize handling, ctrl‑Z suspend/fg restore, 256/truecolor fallbacks and hotkey focus. Also packaging: produce single-file executables (~10 MB) or installable dotnet tools and cross‑compile to ARM64 (Raspberry Pi) — demos run live and interactive.
